One in Christ Christ.
This site has one identity. One in Christ. There is no denomination here. No CSI, no Marthoma, no Brethren, no Pentecostal. No institution owns these songs.
These hymns were not written for a church building or a liturgy. They were written by broken human beings in their most desperate, most surrendered, most grace-filled moments. A man who traded slaves and could not forgive himself. A father sailing over the ocean where his daughters drowned. A reformer hiding from those who wanted him dead.
These songs belong to every believer equally. That is the only identity of this site.
"This site exists because the modern Christian youth, especially in Kerala, is tired of walls. Tired of being CSI or Marthoma or Brethren or Pentecostal before they are simply followers of Christ."
This is not a site that argues for unity. It does not preach or debate. It simply tells stories. And in those stories, every young believer finds the same thing: that the person who wrote their favourite hymn was just a broken human being crying out to the same God they cry out to.
That is enough. That is the whole message.
